Leaves turning purple — problem or genetics?
Week 7 of flower and my fan leaves are turning deep purple. Nighttime temps are around 60°F. Is this a problem or just fall colors? The buds look healthy.

Looks like a classic case. Check your pH first — 90% of these issues trace back to pH being off. Even small deviations can lock out nutrients.

Same thing happened to me when I was overfeeding. Backed off the nutrients by 50% and new growth came in healthy within a week.

Environment is key here. What's your temp and humidity? Sometimes the symptom looks like a nutrient issue but it's actually environmental.

Had this exact issue last grow. What fixed it for me was flushing with pH'd water and letting the soil dry out before feeding again at half strength.
